.SYNOPSIS FOR NEW ENGLAND WATERS...High pressure remains over the
area this evening, then shifts E overnight as a cold front
approaches from the W. The cold front moves into the waters by
early Wed, passing E of the area early Wed night. Another high
builds E behind the front, with a surface trough moving S along
the E part of the high Thu. High pressure then continues through
Fri. The high shifts E Fri night as another cold front approaches
the waters from the NW. That front moves into the area and
gradually diminishes Sat and Sat night while yet another high
builds well N Sun and Sun night. A strengthening coastal low
approaches from the S Sat and Sat night, then stalls off the
Delmarva or New Jersey coast Sun and Sun night, and while pulling
a warm front north into the S areas.
